At'first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you'd done me wrong
And I grew stong, And I learned how to get alone.
And so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with
that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid look
I'should hav'made you leave your key If I'd thought for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.
Go'on now go Walk out the door Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt
me with goodbye You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive For as long as I know how to love
I know I'm still alive; I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give, I will survive, I will survive.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights Just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high You see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you,
Now you felt like droppin in And expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's loving me.
Go'on now go Walk out the door, Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt
me with goodbye You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
I know I'm still alive; I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give
I will survive,
I will survive. Yeah Yeah!
